My first gun was the full-size XD 45. I carried the XD-S (Gen 1) for a good bit.

SA makes great products. I wouldn't give up the capacity from my Hellcat, but the XD-S for someone like you would be fine.

Yeah, this would be my 4th SA pistol. You're aware. Not sure why they discontinued it. Maybe in favor of the OSP. So I'll have to load up on spare mags and what-not, since if I do the deal, it's in my house to stay.

Thanks for the advice.

I think the Hellcat has basically killed the XD-S line

Anytime

I was lucky.
My K31 has a numbers matching bayonet
That’s a great find.

I stripped the wood, polished the metal, and have already started to oil finish the handle. It's going to be beautiful.

I found it at an online milsurp place while shopping for garand clips, which I found for $2/ea. I have a whole batch of those in the CLP restore process too.

Is your bayonet like mine or the sawtooth variant?

So I got the .45 XD-S Mod 2. Came with the standard 5-rd, then (2) 6-rd and (1) 7-rd mags. Original owner installed tritium sights and polished the ramp.

I'm tickled. Just got done making sure SA knows I own it now. Ordered the standard SA IWB holster, and a WTP mag carrier. I know both. Basic, and functional. Makes it easier to change platforms when the "mechanics" of deploying and reloading are much the same.

My default SD/HD round is the Federal 230 HST, but I'm going with Speer 185 Gold Dots for the little Howitzer.

I love 1911 style handguns. Always dreamed I'd be at an estate sale and find a widow who was selling off her husbands North American 1911 not knowing what she had. Regret passing on a 70's Colt Combat Commander back in the day.

Thankfully I've been successful enough to have the ability to purchase the firearms I have. It also helps that of all the things I buy, she doesn't mind the guns lol

Can anyone explain the federal injunction on the ATF pistol brace ruling? Is it now legal to reattach the devices (if a law-abiding citizen owned them)?
